This course was very interesting and engaging. I loved the case studies and discussion topics. I'm happy that I enrolled and dedicated time to complete it. It was so interesting that I think I will take some follow-on courses. I thought I knew about or understood what fraud was all about, even if just the basics, but this course brought in so many other elements I did not consider or even thought about, and showed me that not even my basic knowledge was enough. I recommend this to anyone in Finance or anyone just interested in being a better employee or person as some of the material could be applied to everyday life and personal ethics. I only have one recommendation regarding the quizzes - structure some of the questions better. Maybe these are designed to make you think, I don't know, but the sentence structure in several of the questions made it difficult to understand what you're asking. Thank you Coursera and WVU.

I really learned a lot taking this course. I am in the financial industry but got a chance to learn how other organizations detect fraud which is very similar in nature. The only thing I didn't like is that if I got an answer incorrect I was only told it was not correct and a reason without informing me of the correct answer for future reference. I am a member of the Association of anti-money laundering specialists (ACAMS) certified anti-money laundering specialist (CAMS) and this course added on to my level of knowledge and expertise. Overall I feel the instructors and Association of Certified Fraud Examiners did a great job with putting the classes together and I hope to stay connected in some way shape or form as I continue my career in the field. Many thanks!

The course is very well structured and introduced me to most of the topics related to fraud examination and forensic accounting. I feel that the course could benefit from adding case studies for the student to solve or providing concrete examples which the student can solve like detection of duplicate invoices or identification of improper journal entries among a list of journal entries. This would really help drill down the concepts. Overall the course whetted my appetite for this very interesting area and I certainly would like to learn more from the professors. Thanks for developing this course.

The content of the course is definitely great. I learned stuff i didn't knew and really liked exploring the course content. It was fun and instructive.
But the test-system sucks. I spent more time trying to understand the meaning of a question than actually pondering on which answer to choose. Plus given the very broad approach of the course, some questions were way to specific and it felt like there was no sense in asking some questions when taking the global goal of the course into account.
thank you for creating this course. I really appreciated doing it (apart from the testing-part :P)

While contents are great, I have identified a number of spelling misakes (e.g. NASDAC instead of NASDAQ, obviously due to poor voice recognition) and other technical inconsistencies that have a negative impact on the learning experience. In the quizzes, the order of answers is often wrong, e.g. when the topmost answer is "All of the above.", and there are instances where questions are ambiguous and can't be reasonably answered (see the question in the Worldcom context: "... was not presecuted ... was the least culpable.." in the same sentence.).

Forensic accounting and fraud examination are important and valuable fields for businesses and organizations to prevent and detect financial fraud. The theoretical knowledge gained from a course in this subject matter can help individuals understand the principles and techniques used in forensic accounting and fraud examination, and potentially apply them to real-world scenarios. It is always beneficial to further one's knowledge and skills in this area, especially as financial fraud continues to be a prevalent issue in many industries.

The course was very good taught. The three professors know what they are talking about and explain concepts in a way that is understandable to all. Although the examples are good, I'd wish they were updated in order to learn about recent years. Quizzes and final exam are good, can be tried several times, and have enough time to complete them. This course only covers the surface but it gives you an understanding (even from the fraudster's point of view) and intrigues one to learn more about the topic.

Really enjoyed the course. It certainly tackled my little grey cells - passsing the exam after two attempts.
I'm so glad I done the course. It is something I chose to do as it not only connects me to the subject of Law/Crime, for which I have great passion, but also adds to my TEFL credentials when seeking to show my affiliation within the legal sector - and my hopes of developing into TOLES, or indeed persuing my goal of returning to the Legal sector in an assistant/admin-secretarial role.

The course trains us on principle theories of fraud, how to detect the fraudsters, classification of fraudsters and also the processes that can be used to control fraud in organisation. The course also touches upon concepts of money laundering and Whistle-blowing mechanisms. The course can be improved by also introducing us to digital forensics and tools used world wide. Further the syllabus needs to be widened to touch upon case studies or examples across the world and not restrict to USA
